Blood Oaths & Broken Wars
The war was going badly. Hope wore thin, worn down by funerals and betrayals. And Hermione Granger was tired of watching the people she loved die. So she turned to something older than wand magic. Something forbidden. Buried in the bowels of the Black Family Library, there it was: Vinculum Sanguinis. Blood magic-raw, binding, and irreversible. She wasn't summoning a spirit. She was summoning a soul. Regulus Arcturus Black: traitor to Voldemort, presumed dead, drowned by his own mission. The ritual was agony. It called for a drop of her blood, a binding vow, and a name spoken with intent. She gave more than a drop. When the circle of runes lit up with searing gold, and the air crackled like a storm breaking, Regulus appeared-naked, furious, and alive. "You called me," he said. His voice was low and sharp, like a blade drawn in the dark. Hermione collapsed, the toll of the ritual stealing her breath. "We're bound. Soul to soul. You're mine now." His eyes-those same steel-gray Black eyes-narrowed. "And you are mine." Regulus learned quickly. He was colder than Sirius, quieter. But once he understood what had become of the world-what Voldemort had turned into-he didn't hesitate. "We end this," he told her one night. "Not for the Order. Not for Potter. For family." He moved through the shadows. Undetected. Whispers of a third side rose. The war paused. Every living Black turned to him. Even the cursed ones. Even Draco. He didn't speak. He didn't need to. His presence said enough. They followed. He wasn't there for sides. He was there for blood. And anyone threatening Hermione Granger was already marked for death.Complete

Venom in His Veins | Drarry
When Harry Potter was six, he learned two things: magic is real, and love won't save you, not when you're bleeding on a kitchen floor while your relatives call it discipline. Left to fend for himself, Harry disappears off the grid by the age of eleven, resurfacing years later at Hogwarts with a cold smile, a wand that obeys like a blade, and blood on his hands from work no child should know. He doesn't wear the Boy Who Lived like a badge. It's a target and he's the one aiming. Draco Malfoy has spent years preparing to hate Harry Potter. But the boy who returns to Hogwarts in their sixth year isn't the golden savior of the wizarding world. He's sharp, strategic, dangerous, and devastatingly disinterested in the war everyone assumes he's destined to win. As tensions mount and alliances shift, Draco finds himself drawn to the boy who kills with quiet precision and smiles like he knows something you don't. But the closer he gets, the more he realizes: Potter doesn't need saving. He needs someone who won't flinch when the world calls him a monster.Complete

Klaus' Family and Hades' Hope
Lily struggled as she moved up the stairs. Her husband James screamed, "Lily take Harry and run. He is here! I will fight him off." James turned and said, "I am sorry Angie." He whispered to himself. He cut himself and said some ancient words in Latin, "O death, have mercy on my blood adopted son's soul and take my sacrifice to save his. Keep my son and god children from harm as long as I am on the mortal plane and keep them from true harm. So mote it be." Someone burst in the door and said, "Avada Kedavra." The next second James fell from the floor. The figure moved up the stairs and went and said, "Stand aside girl." Lily screamed, "No. I will not." "Stand aside, girl." "Never, take me instead." "STAND ASIDE!" "NO!" "Very Well. Avada Kedavra." "I am sorry little one, It hurts worse when you are left alone. Dumbledore would use you to his own game. I hope you forgive me one day." The little guy surprised him as he whispered in snake tongue, " I know. Harry is sorry. Dumble bad." He smiled at him like a child greeting his favorite uncle and not the murderer of his parents. "You are a remarkable child." He said with a small smile. "I am sorry little speaker." He points his wand at him. "Avada Kedavra." That is where it all went wrong, the spell backfired, Voldemort vanished, people celebrated, and Dumbledore did some dastardly things on a little boy after he was dropped off at the Dursleys and McGonagall and Hagrid left.

Cross Your Heart // Regulus Black
The Sacred 28 families are some of the most powerful wizarding lines in the world, and their purity is guarded carefully. Many a pureblood has been forced to marry for blood rather than for love, but no one takes it quite as seriously as the last of the original sacred families. They marry for status, not for love. Never for love. With the families dying out and the old traditions fading into distant memory, it's never been more paramount for the Sacred families to make powerful matches for their children. Preserving the pureblood lines and the magic that runs through them is of the utmost importance. The Black Family Dynasty is more than familiar with the traditional customs, and no one has arranged a more powerful match than Walburga and Orion Black. A Gaunt and a Black. An inconceivably powerful alliance, two of the most prominent family lines in wizarding history, finally connected. Their son, their heir, matched with a Gaunt? They couldn't be happier. Magdelyna Merope Gaunt, the daughter of Morfin Gaunt and the cousin of Tom Marvolo Riddle himself. She could never refuse such a match- no good pureblooded girl would ever dare to turn away a member of the House of Black. And with her family nearly eradicated, she has no choice but to marry. Who better than Regulus Black? The only complication? The wizarding world is teetering on the edge of a war, and Regulus is right in the middle of it. When a prophecy complicates matters, Regulus and Magdelyna have to work together to stay alive, caught up in a game that neither fully understands: a game that stretches through time, that defies the laws of life and death. When the side of good isn't completely good and the side of evil isn't completely evil, they have to find a middle ground. --- {1978-1998} Regulus Black x Original Female Character MATURE BOOK!

The Girl Who Fixed the War
She was never meant to exist in this time. But without her, none of them would have. In the final battle of Hogwarts, a stray curse strikes Hermione Granger's Time Turner, hurling her decades into the past-straight into the heart of the First Wizarding War. Blood-adopted by the Potters and going by the alias Lyra, she finds herself among a generation not yet broken by war: James and Lily, Sirius, Remus... and Regulus Black. As she navigates shifting alliances, manipulates Death Eater politics, and dismantles Horcruxes before they're even made, Hermione refuses to let another generation die for a war they never chose. But rewriting history comes at a cost, and the more she changes, the less room time has for her. Falling for Regulus Black was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming a myth. A story about sacrifice, second chances, and the quiet power of choosing peace. Because not every hero is remembered-some are erased to make room for the lives they saved.Complete

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 entered the world with silver eyes that remembered every grave, golden hair that shimmered like a crown too heavy for any child, and a silence that unsettled even the house that raised her. The Blacks bred tempests, and she was a storm disguised as grace. Though long before her first breath, the constellations had written her fate. They named her for dawn yet clothed her in dusk, promising her to the boy who bore lightning in his scar. 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑-child of prophecy, boy marked by fate for death, the lamb to be slaughter and sacrificed. They found each other in corridors steeped in omen, their eyes meeting as if they had done so for centuries. His sorrow recognized her fury; her tenderness understood his ruin. Their love was not a choice but an inheritance, whispered by the heavens, sealed in the marrow of their bones. The world stood against them. As bloodlines demanded obedience, gods demanded payment, destiny demanded separation. Yet together they moved toward each other as planets do, colliding though they knew it would shatter the sky. Their love was no sanctuary. It was a doom both holy and profane, a sacrament carved into the stars with the same hand that wrote death.
